Journey with Paul August 16-20

Area boys and girls are invited step back into time and take a journey with Paul August 16-20 at the Milford Christian Church. This year’s Vacation Bible School theme is “Journeys with Paul” with sessions being held nightly from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. Grace Shearer is serving as director with a large staff of church members assisting. Classes will be held for children ages two through grade eight and for adults. On this side of the sea we sit down with a big bode in our hands. It is an old book. Nearly 2,000 years have passed since the last word of it was written, and no one can tell how many thousands of years ago the records were made or the words uttered, out of which its first writer prepared his wonderful statements. As it is a long time since these records were made, so are the lands far away in which the events recorded are said to have occurred. The greatest contrast exists between the age and the land in which we live and the age and lands in which this book found its beginning, its material, and its ending. To one familiar only with the habits, dress, and customs of American life, the everyday events recorded in the book seem fabulous. We do not dress as the book says people dressed in those far-away years and far-away lands; we do not eat as they did; our houses are not like theirs: we do not measure time as they did; we do not speak their language; our seasons do not answer to the seasons that marked their years. It is difficult, knowing only our modern American life, to think ourselves into the conditions under which this book says people lived and thought in those long-ago ages Their wedding feasts and funeral services differed utterly from ours; their places of worship and education also were different from that of ours; and the things which we read concerning them seem strange enough to us This old Book — the Bible wrought into the texture of human history and literature with the gradually unfoiking ages — is the old Book we study today on this side of the sea. It is a "Book of Books” — the Book outshining all other books in the literary firmament, as the sun out-splendors the planets that move in their orbits around him It is a Book dealing with man as an immortal soul. making known the beginnings of the race; going back of the beginning to God. who is from “everlasting to everlasting.” and who "in the, beginning created the heaven and

the earth;” revealing the creative purpose and loving grace of God; tracing the fall and deterioration of man, the diving interposition in human history, the preparation of a family, a race, a nation, and a world at large for the coming of the Redeemer; revealing the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ; showing how the Christ came, what He did, what He said, what He achieved; telling a simple way the story of the early church, from the little meeting of the bereaved disciples in the upper room to the magnificent consummation of Christ’s coming, as seen in the prophetic visions of John on the Isle of Patmos. As we sit down on this side of the sea. it is well that we are able to look beyond the sea to the lands which gave to the world the Book. And it is well that, as we look, we are able today to connect the Book with those same lands as they now lie among the rivers and by the seaside. And it is well that the lands as they are found today correspond to the records of the Book as they were made centuries and centuries ago. Paul It is with this thought in mind that the Christian Church is planning this Bible School program — during the 20 years from 45 to 65 AD, of which the events of church history are recorded in Acts 13-28 of that Book, the most important personage is the apostle Paul. The work of the original 12 is scarcely referred to, while the journeys of the last apostle are related with considerable detail. The probable reason for this is that Paul was the leader in the great movement by which the church of Christ was broadened from an inconsiderable Jewish sect, scarcely known out of Jerusalem, to a religion for all the world. This distinction from the other apostles is considered of so much importance that be is called, almost universally, by the descriptive title he gave himself — the Apostle of the Gentiles. The daily concepts of the Bible School have been taken from scripture dealing with Paul and chosen to focus on his experiences with Christ and serving Him Monday’s theme will be "God's Wisdom For Man’s Folly," with the topic being Paul meets the Lord from Acts 9.1-30 Tuesday’s theme will be "Now — To Be Used Os God” with the topic being Paul in Antioch and Corinth as taken from Acts 13,14 and 18. Wednesday's theme will be "Good News For Sinners” (Reconciliation Thru Christ) with
